New York Giants: Darius Slayton On Catching Eli Manning’s Last Touchdown

Error 0:

There’s been a lot of iconic touchdown passes from New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, but only one has the title of being Manning’s last touchdown. That’s the one that he threw against the Miami Dolphins, and the name of the receiver that caught it isn’t anyone that would have been predicted to do so at the start of the year – not Sterling Shepard, or Golden Tate, or even Cody Latimer, but the rookie Darius Slayton.

Slayton, of course, came to the Giants in the fifth round when the team took a risk on him after he slid in the draft despite analysts saying he had some promise – the 171st pick was where he was drafted, in fact.
